Chapter 4 The choice is yours Inuyasha
She woke up to total and complete silence. Is it night already? She thought. Then like a tidal wave all her thoughts came flooding back and as they did she herd yelling.
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN? WHAT ARE YOU SAYING?"
*Mumbles*
"No...no...no...NO! HOW DO YOU KNOW?? THAT CAN'T BE RIGHT!! THIS HAS NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE!!"
Kagome crept closer...and for a second noticed that her breathing was fine.
"...The child has lived to long without the other half Inuyasha...it wants to leave...it has too." Keades voice. What are they talking about?! Me?! Her body had grown cold and afraid. What do they mean??!! She was about to bolt in and ask when-
"BUT I CAN'T KILL HER! I WON'T!!" his voice was filled with pain and disbelief.
"HOW CAN I!?"
Suddenly Myroku's voice entered her ears.
"BECAUSE IF YOU DON'T KAGOME WILL DIE! THEY BOTH WILL DIE INUYASHA! DO YOU WANT HER TO DIE?"
Kagome sat paralyzed with fear. She heard Shippo's sobs.
"Inuyasha! Please Inuyasha! Save Kagome! I don't want her to leave!! I DON'T WANT HER TO LEAVE ME INUYASHA!!!"
At this she heard his sobs grow louder. He was running toward her bedrolls she realized, but she didn't move. Instead she went out and caught his sobbing form.
"KAGOME!?" he shouted.
The darkened shadows froze around the still crackling fire.
"Kagome." Songos pained face appeared.
"Did you hear all this?"
But Kagome was not listening to her she was looking at Inuyasha. She had heard enough to get the gist of what was going on.
"Inuyasha..." She whispered
"Ka-Kagome..." he whispered back.
His eyes...she thought...he looks close to tears...this is bad.... Inuyasha doesn't cry....Inuyasha just doesn't cry. She clung to Shippo like a living, fluffy, teddy bear. Her eyes started to water and not because she was sick...
"No Sango." She said still staring at Inuyasha.
"I didn't hear hardly anything." At this she turned to Knead.
"I think its time to tell me what it is that is going on here." She sat down and looked at every face, cuddling the still sobbing Shippo.
Myroku and Sango nodded Keade and Inuyasha lowered their heads.
It was time for her to know.
"Kagome.." Keade started "When Naraku made himself look like Inuyasha and stole the jewel from Kikyo and made Kikyo stick Inuyasha to the sacred tree...then she was made again to rise by that evil witch..." Kagome nodded she remembered "And she took your soul.."
"Yes, but only half because I called it back..."
"Exactly Kagome...." at this she looked up. "Your soul is ready to go back being one again."
Kagome's eyes widened. "My.... My soul is trying to leave to go...TO GO TO KIKYO!?"
Keade nodded.
"And vise versa, my child, Kikyo's is also trying to go to you..If one of you doesn't give up your souls...and die....you will both perish."
Kagome gasped. Inuyasha's shoulders slumped a little more and he covered his hands over his face. He was not crying.... He was in way to much pain to cry....
